Biography[]
Ricardo Godinez Del Toro was born in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico in 1979, the son of a famous plastic surgeon. He came to work for the Santa Blanca Cartel at the age of 16, and, after a high-ranking narco died from complications from a surgery his father performed, Del Toro was forced to kill his father on his private yacht both to make things right with the cartel and to spare him a long and painful death. Del Toro kept his father's ashes inside a locket and occasionally snorted them when he needed confidence. He participated in the cartel's takeover of Bolivia and was nicknamed "El Gato" for his supposed numerous lives, having been shot, stabbed, garroted, blown up, burned, thrown off a building, run over by a car, and half-drowned, and continuing to survive. El Gato was entrusted with managing the cartel's packaging of drugs in Bolivia's Remanzo province, where he was tracked down by American special forces in 2019 during Operation Kingslayer. After the Americans killed his double, they found him holed up at the Poco irrigation tank and killed him for good.
